As you can see i cannot conver to float.... Why ..? What i must do?

try casting thus:

I works...now thx... But why where was my mistake?
Thx
Have a nice day

Your mistake was that you defined the return type of getValue as Float (the class java.lang.Float - note the capital F) but you were trying to cast the integer into the java primitive type of float (lower case f). The two aren't the same thing. The Float is an actual class which contains all sorts of methods for dealing with floating point numbers; float is just a basic primitive type to hold a number, it doesn't have any methods: it isn't a class.

Yup, as it stands with java you can only cast primitive types, there's an execption, but overall this is the case, Float is a wrapper as mentioned, a class within itself, so java see's it and says, what ya on about, nobody told me you knew each other?

Big hint aswell, Sun havae provied online and downloadable probably the most clearest, accesbile and succint api documentation I have ever see
